Bill > HB0220

This bill amends the insurance requirements for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), such as Uber or Lyft, by specifying detailed insurance coverage mandates for drivers during both prearranged rides and waiting periods. The bill requires TNCs and drivers to maintain primary insurance with specific liability coverage amounts: $1,000,000 per occurrence during prearranged rides, and a tiered coverage of $50,000 per individual, $100,000 for all individuals, and $30,000 for property damage during waiting periods. The insurance must include personal injury protection, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and an acknowledgment of commercial vehicle use. The bill allows insurance to be purchased by either the driver or the TNC, or a combination of both. Notably, the bill adds a new provision that gives individuals a right to sue a TNC for personal injury damages if they are injured during a prearranged ride and the required uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage was not maintained. The bill will take effect on May 7, 2025, and aims to provide clearer protections and insurance standards for rideshare drivers and passengers.
